Notes About The Poem

Some people are so NOT FUNNY when they think they are. It annoys me heaps, this write attempts to show the thoughts people who think they're funny should have.

My Mind Walked Down a One Way Street

I walked along a one way street,
A one way street inside my head.
I was in charge of every thought I made, every step I took,
I knew exactly every word I said.

But people mistook me, didn’t listen,
Mistaking the meaning of what I spoke.
They heard the words in a different way than had been intended,
It was only ever meant to be a joke.

But then I thought just maybe my humor,
Wasn’t funny, instead being crude and strange.
It was rude, vindictive, laced with venom, antagonism and spite,
The direction I walked would need to change. 

I walked along a one way street,
A one way street inside my mind.
Unfortunately I walked the wrong way entirely against the traffic, 
My compassion needed reflection to be redefined.
